Episode 79: A Review of Netflix's "Entergalactic": Thou shall not smash your neighbor!

Welcome back!! Love is in the air this week as the ladies discuss Netflix's romantic comedy "Entergalactic."!! Kid Cudi & Kenya Barris's animated film introduces "an ambitious artist, Jabari, attempting to balance success and love after he moves into his dream Manhattan apartment, and falls for his next-door neighbor." (Netflix) This is not a typical movie... more an artistic expression of storytelling through music and colorful visuals. What an experience! The ladies ultimately conclude that "Entergalatic" is visually stunning *stoner *film. A couple of highlights from this episode: Kat might have a crush, Moni didn't know Kid Cudi's real name, Moni & Kat agree it's a bad idea to smash your neighbors, and navigating corporate jobs, especially as Black artist, is especially painful!! Get ready for another great conversation. Cheers! Trigger Warning: Most of our episodes contain spoilers, adult content & language. Please be advised this show is for adults 18 and up and the open minded. We are not professionals, or educators...just friends having candid conversations. **Dedication: Episode is dedicated to our supporters especially to our Patrons!!!! To stories highlighting Black love, and Moni's newly engaged nephew...congratulations! Last but not least, to the original Black Egyptians finally getting credit for uncovering King Tut's tomb. https://www.livescience.com/untold-story-king-tut-discovery Side Dedication: To Virgil Abloh, Rest in Peace! "Entergalactic was dedicated to Cudi's deceased friend, American fashion designer Virgil Abloh, with the release date sharing the birth date of Abloh. Billed as a "television event", it received critical acclaim for its animation, visual style, music, and story." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgil_Abloh Released: September 30, 2022, Abloh's birthday. **About the Show *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entergalactic(TVspecial) "And on the vibe level, “Entergalactic” totally works. It’s an experimental form, using plot and characters to present a collage of multisensory art." (forgot where I got this quote but it was perfect, shout out to the person who's words captured my thoughts exactly!) Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C2lyCIusKo Director: Fletcher Moules Program creators: Kid Cudi, Kenya Barris _ Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi,_ aka Kid Cudi, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor.
